Default Changing Tuners on a Carbon Fiber

Has anyone worked on a carbon fiber guitar? I want to swap out the stock tuners for GOTOH Delta 510s. I'll have to drill a small pilot hole for the attachment screw. I've had lot's of experience with wood, but I've never worked with CF.

Should be some that drop right in place of the old ones. Just get model with screws at 6:00. Something like this might work: http://www.japarts.ca/Gotoh/Gotoh-Pr...510.asp#SGV510

I'd run it by RS to be sure though.

I haven't been around in months, so I just saw this. Hopefully you haven't drilled holes yet!

Gotoh 510Zs are drop-on for RainSong, no modifications required at all. See my threads at:
